Description
It is not considered "the race car of the century" for nothing:
The Porsche 917 - between 1969 and 1975, first places in the world championships and at Le Mans were almost reserved for this unique racing car.
A foreword by Ferdinand Piëch kicks off a book that - unlike all previous books on the Porsche 917 - was developed and written entirely on the basis of factory documents.
Walter Näher, the author of the work, was involved in the development of the Porsche 917 as a young engineer and has supported it in many races.
His unique familiarity with the car has enabled him to write the ultimate book on the Porsche 917 - a documentation that details developments, test drives and trials, and includes race reports.
Many previously unpublished photos from the Porsche archive enrich this comprehensive and detailed book, which in the second part meticulously describes the life story of all 64 Porsche 917s built.
When a Porsche 917 wins the CanAm series for the second time in 1973, the regulations are changed by the Americans, leading to the exclusion of the Porsche 917-and thus to the end of a unique series of successes.
